Constituency profile
Shrawasti Lok Sabha constituency, one of the 80 parliamentary constituencies in Uttar Pradesh, came into existence in 2008 after delimitation exercise.
Shrawasti, closely associated with the life of both Gautama Buddha and Bhagwan Mahavir, was carved out of Gonda and Bahraich districts in 1997. The district is a religious town revered by followers of Jain and Baudh religions.
Four of the five assembly segments which form the Shrawasti parliamentary constituency were in Bahraich Lok Sabha constituency before the 2008 delimitation. Three of the assembly constituencies are part of Balrampur district while two are in Shravasti.
In the first election held in 2008, Congress' Vinay Kumar Pandey emerged victorious. He, however, lost to BJP's Daddan Mishra, a former BSP leader who joined the BJP in 2012.
The parliamentary constituency of Shrawasti consists of five assembly segments: Bhinga, Shrawasti, Tulsipur, Gainsari and Balrampur (SC).
